I haven't got a working mail transport agent on this machine at this
time. The reportbug tool communicates directly with the external smtp
server hosted by Three Mobile.

I had the same problem. I am using the DNS servers provided by Google at
the moment, until I can find one in Great Britain.

I have a relatively complicated setup here, my network is ethernet, this
goes via a router, which originally went to a cable modem. I have removed
the cable modem, and I now use a broadband router, which has a mobile
dongle plugged into the back. The broadband router makes the connection
to the internet via the Three Mobile dongle.
